yes do it. Macs are great. Very highly supremly customizable. I like my eyecandy on my desktop how I want it, and the mac does this with no purchasing other apps. Real easy to use. You can put on a two button mouse with scroll wheel, no problemo. Most of the Mac users I know of use one.
I bought an eMac back last June, and now I am saving for a G5 for my media work. I love it that much.
